    The victim doesn’t matter unless they are worth millions of dollars or stand to help others win or loss millions.

    When you think about it … the system isn’t protecting people, whether they are rich or not … the system is just thinking about protecting wealth and capital.

      The system protects the flow of tax dollars.

      Because that’s what it consumes to survive.

        Well, as long as you mean the flow of tax dollars coming from the poor and middle class. The system specifically protects the corporations and wealthy from paying their share of tax dollars

        Then why do billionaires and corporations get so many tax breaks and subsidies while also getting the most protection and favorable legislation?

            Right. It protects them, not the flow of tax dollars. This seems to be a difficult concept for you. Maybe Reddit is more your pace.

              It protects someone like bezos because he has employees whose income (used to) far outpace what the wealthy would contribute.

              So they were (and still are) protected.

              Sorry you’re having so much trouble with this.
